Adham el-Kamouny, an Egyptian TV presenter, said that the
incident 'was very ugly'.

The crew said they would report the incident to the
Confederation of African Football.

A BBC reporter who witnessed the fracas said two journalists
were arguing with the Sudanese officials before the Sudan
players 'waded in'.

'Several players manhandled the cameraman before they were
eventually ushered into the hotel and the door shut,' BBC
reporter Richard Connolly told the BBC website.

'The rumpus continued outside where hotel security and a
number of Ghana police became involved with one of the police
officers holding his gun in the air in an attempt to quell the
trouble...it was only when the team bus departed for training
three or four minutes later that things became calm,' Connolly
was quoted as saying.
